This course allows teacher to experience the 6S Study Skills Course as it would be run to students, but with more of an emphasis on using the tools as teaching techniques. We examine the concept of regular review and use it to experiment with ten different learning tools throughout the day. Teachers will learn about the importance of sleep, state, sustenance, skills, support and state to the exam experience and will be shown ways to help their students improve note-making, note-taking, thinking and study skills.
For all secondary and post 16 teachers whose pupils need help preparing effectively for exams and tests.
